Wanting to finally finish the last few frames of a film that's taken me three months to get through I used them do some reconnaissance for a project I have in mind. The parish church of Greenwich, St Alfege, will feature in it.
Along the side of the church is St. Alfege Passage which features a fine terrace of Georgian houses.

There were originally two churchyards. Both were cleared in mid Victorian times when town centre churchyards were becoming overcrowded and unhealthy. St. Alfege Passage leads to the second of these which was cleared and laid out as a public space in 1850. Unsuprisingly this is named St. Alfege Park. Look closely in the undergrowth around the walls and gravestones can still be found where they were stacked all that time ago.

Finally the church itself. Rebuilt 1712-1714 after the original medieval church collapsed during a storm St. Alfege, like St. Pauls, suffered from incendiary bombs during WW2 but survived.
